Being a runner who is out everyday, I needed a product would provide protection on sweaty runs. It holds up well and like how it easily blends into my skin without the oily appearance. I actually apply it everyday as part of my morning routine.

This product is worth the money!

I have been using retinol for about the last 2 months, but took a break since I was going to Destin, Florida in July for a beach vacation. I needed a product that would really block the sun since retinol makes the skin more sensitive to burning. Wow! TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 really worked! I applied it every day to my face before I went to the beach and I spent 4-6 hours each day in the sun. I had absolutely no burning or peeling on my face. My face did tan however. The lotion is not greasy and a small amount goes a long way. Once I applied TiO2 Sunblock I forgot it was there. I definitely would recommend this as a quality product.

Great Sun Protection

This sunblock is a little thick but will not block your pores unlike some other sunscreen products which usually cause me to break out with acne , I would recommend it for a purchase for those of you that are trying not to get tanned or for great protection against harmful UV rays that cause skin cancer .

Heavier and thicker

After reading I had hoped to use as moisturizer and sunblock to replace a product I had been using but was hard to find. I can't speak to the sun protection, but found the product thick, heavy and not nearly as soothing to apply as the combination product I was using. It is disappointing.

BEST SUNBLOCK I'VE EVER USED!

Living in the Las Vegas heat, I know the importance of using sunblock.
I have previously tried to use different types of sunblocks however it has never stuck to my daily routine. Previous sunblock usage has left my acne prone skin to having terrible breakouts and leaving my face extremely shiny.
MenScience sunblock is awesome! It has a great non-greasy finish and I haven't had any breakouts!
Highly recommend this product!

Life Saver Product

this product is terrific. What I like most about it is that it applies smoothly and you really don't need to use a lot of it, making it economical. My plastic surgeon thought it was a good idea to use this product after I discovered some pre-cancerous cells. Also, this product has virtually no-odor and won't stain your shirt collars as my other sun blocks have in the past. highly recommended and a "life saver" product. Tony

Best Sunblock

I work in a office so I don't get out in the sun too much so my skin is more of a fair complexion. That being said I tend to burn easy. I recently had a beach vacation planned so I was worried about burning. I had been using another product but would still burn and then break out after use. I was blown away by this Mensceince sunblock. It is very light weight and soaks into the skin like a moisturizer. Of course the best part is that it actually protected me from the sun. For about 5 days I was on the beach for 8 hours a day and I never burned once but developed a nice tan. One of the best products that I have used so far.

I have to say this is amazing. My face was getting darker than the rest of my body. That is why I bought this, and I must say, it not only lightened my complexion, believe it or not, it even reduced frequency of pimples on my face DRASTICALLY, made my face much clearer, and got rid of a lot of scars. I must say this product is great, and hence I will try other menscience products like the face wash and the lotion.

Great sunblock

The sun is always shining (and burning) here in Miami Beach. My dermatologist recommended this sunblock, she said her husband loved it because it was very matte and non-greasy. I decided to try it out because I was getting sunspots. It is very light, absorbs quickly, does not leave residue, and it's actually a good non-comedogenic moisturizer. The product works. I only use it on my face because it's expensive. If it were cheaper I would use it everywhere. I highly recommend it.

Best Facial Sunblock/Moisturizer on the Market

My wife and I travel to Mexico several times a year for a week or two and I need a really good facial moisturizer/sunblock. I read the review of the sunblock in GQ magazine and while I was skeptical at first, I must say that the Ti02 sunblock performance was absolutely incredible. I applied it after I showered in the morning and went all day in the sun and surf and not once did I burn. I actually thought about not using it one day so that I could get a little more sun on my face. After a couple of days I did notice that my face was tanning, not red or burned. I will never be without this product.

great sunblock, daily body lotion

I used to live on the beach; the only time I used sunblock was when we went to lay out on the beach. Now I live in the middle of the dessert in El Paso, TX. The sun here is killer. I use sunblock everyday. I looked and looked for the best sunblock out there. I was looking for something non greasy, non smelly and something that I didnt have to reapply and reapply. I found it with this product. I use it as if it was body lotion. I feel good using it. Dont have to worry about the sun effects or anything else.

This is the first product I use after I wash my face in the morning, I use it like a regular moisturizer, but this isn't just any moisturizer its a sunblock moisturizer, so you get better protection from the sun. It's non greasy unlike other sunblocks, and it moisturizes your face very great. This is probably my last moisturizer that I will ever buy to tell you the truth. Hmmm anything bad? You can basically use this product anywhere besides your face that needs sun protection in a daily basis. It'd be a shame to say something bad about a product that is this great!

I have oily skin so it is imperative that my sunblock does not exacerbate that condition. What I love about TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 is that, apart from providing sun protection, it also acts as a moisturizer. So after I shower in the morning, I just apply this product and it takes care of my moisture and protection needs all day long. Now that I am in Bahrain in the Middle East where it is sunny and hot most months of the year, my need for protection is greater. Too bad they don't sell this product in Bahrain. I will find a way to get more of this sunblock.

Hands down...best sunblock!

I love the fact that it does not leave your face greasy or oily. Goes on with a matte finish and applies easily. I've always hated other sunblocks that leaves your face so oily and this one is the first one I've found that leaves your face feeling very natural with no scent.
Only con is I wish Menscience would increase the bottle size for this.

This stuff is great. I tried it out using the many samples that Menscience sends to you along with your purchase and I was very impressed the very first time I used it. When applying the sunscreen it is totally non-greasy and quickly absorbs into your skin almost like a moisturizing lotion! Because it did that, I was afraid that it was not going to be strong enough to last all day in the sun but I was wrong. This stuff lasted all day long on the golf course, a good 5 hours. This stuff is not sticky either like those spray on sun blocks you buy at the super market. And you don't have to use a lot to spread around on your body, it spreads very well! I will definitely buy a bottle of this stuff after I use up all the sample packs that I have. =)

No Burn. No Smell!

I bought this sunscreen in prep for a vacation trip. I used it on the beach and now I use it during my daily routine(which has me outside or in a car). The first thing I noticed when using it is that it doesn't have that nasty "hey I'm wearing sunscreen" smell. This sunscreen works really well. It doesn't feel like your face is covered in grease, and it absorbs rather quickly too. After a day at the beach under this protection I didn't feel like I had been through a toaster.
There are two things I don't like about it. If you leave it in the sun or in a hot vehicle it gets runny. Most sunscreens do that but it's still annoying. It is rather pricey for the amount. I am about 5'7, 125lbs and after two days on the beach I've used a good bit of it.

I have tried almost every single main brand sunblock out on the market but none has come close to the menscience sunblock. It feels soo much better than every single other sunblock i've used and works great!! Thanks menscience for making such great products :)

Reapply if sweating heavily or exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

Additional Tips :

• TiO2 Sunblock also contains high-end moisturizing and nurturing ingredients, which means you can use it in place of a regular moisturizer when going outdoors.

• Recently exfoliated skin can sunburn more easily, so don’t scrub yourself right before or immediately after tanning.

• Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to sensitive areas like the tops of your feet, backs of your ears and neck, and areas of the scalp and hairline if your hair is thin or thinning.

FAQ:

Q:

Is this a broad-spectrum sunscreen?

A:

Yes, TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 provides protection against both ultraviolet rays type A and B (UVA/UVB). This is very important because both UVA and UVB can damage the skin and most sunscreens only provide protection over a limited spectrum of sun ray types. This product achieves an ultra-broad protection by combining several types of active ingredients for maximum and durable coverage.

Q:

Will this product make my skin look white or shiny?

A:

No, it is an ultralight, oil-free product that absorbs into the skin immediately for a completely matte and clear finish. It is also free of fragrance and dyes, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

Q:

Should I use the highest SPF sunscreen I can find to protect my skin?

A:

In general, the higher the SPF factor, the higher the sun protection, but once you go beyond SPF 30, this difference is negligible and might actually be misleading; in fact, the FDA does not recognize SPF factors higher than SPF 30, which is generally recognized as maximum protection. It is also important to use a waterproof sunscreen like TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 to give you maximum protection even when swimming or in wet and snowy environments.

Q:

What is Titanium Dioxide?

A:

Also known as TiO2, it is an FDA-approved ingredient that deflects UV rays from the skin’s surface and complements other sunscreen ingredients for maximum sun blockage. Titanium Dioxide is the gold standard in sun protection and is superior to chemical-based ingredients because it actually provides a physical layer of protection, causing harmful rays to be deflected or reflected rather than absorbed by the skin. MenScience professional-grade TiO2 has been micronized so it will absorb immediately and will not leave any white residue.

Q:

Does tanning clear up acne blemishes or scars?

A:

Sun exposure actually darkens existing scars and blemishes on the skin and some skin medications also increase skin’s sensitivity, making sunburns more likely. Definitely stay out of the sun if you have blemishes, scars or are using any skin medications. Because TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 is ultralight and non-comedogenic, it is ideal for men’s skins that tend to be prone to having acne.

Q:

How frequently should I apply the TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30?

A:

You should apply the product 20 minutes before going outside, then reapply regularly every 30 minutes after if you are exposed to the sun’s rays for a prolonged period of time or you are sweating heavily.

Q:

Is Ti02 Sunblock appropriate for use on a shaved head?

A:

We would highly recommend you use the TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 for your scalp; this will give you maximum protection and will not feel greasy/shiny at all. Plus, it is a waterproof formula.

Q:

Do I need to use a sunscreen if I have darker skin?

A:

A common misconception about darker-toned skin is that it cannot burn or be damaged by the sun. Although darker skin contains more melanin (skin pigment) which offers greater protection against the sun’s rays, it is still at risk for a number of sun-related diseases. In fact, men with darker skin tones are often at a higher risk because it is often harder to detect changes in skin marks or discolorations. This means it may take longer for a person to seek treatment, by which time the damage could have spread even further.

Also known as TiO2. FDA-approved chemical that deflects UV rays from the skin's surface and complements other sunscreen ingredients for maximum sun blockage. Unlike chemical sunscreens that penetrate and directly react with the skin, Titanium Dioxide provides a physical layer of protection, causing harmful rays to be deflected or absorbed. Its solid white appearance has been used as a pigment to color a variety of things: from correction fluid and paint to toothpaste and cosmetics.
